Crystal Castles Bump Up LP Release

Toronto computer-punk duo Crystal Castles were all set to release their second album (self-titled, just like their first) on June 7 in Europe and June 8 in North America. But then the album leaked, and Fiction, their label, has done the sensible thing by bumping up the album's release date as far as it possibly can~~, at least in Europe.~~ UPDATE: The U.S. physical release date is now May 25 and digital release date is also April 23.~~

Now Europeans will be able to buy the album digitally on April 23-- this Friday. The physical release, meanwhile, is coming on May 24. No word on a North American release date yet. ~~

Meanwhile, you can click over here to hear two songs from the LP, "Doe Deer" and "Celestica". And their April 20 show at Heaven in London, postponed due to the volcanic ash situation, has been rescheduled for May 19.
